US 'Lied' About Media Deaths

[kskiska]

Paris - Washington and senior US commanders in Iraq are responsible for the death of two journalists killed when a US tank crew fired at their hotel in Baghdad last year, Reporters Without Borders said in a report on Thursday.

The Paris-based media watchdog branded the US government's response to the incident as a "lie".

"The Reporters Without Borders enquiry shows there was lying, as well as three levels of responsibility," said the report, written by a journalist for the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur.

The 30-page document entitled Two Murders states that while US soldiers who fired the single tank shell that killed the two journalists and injured three others at the Palestine Hotel on April 8 could not be held accountable for the tragedy, their superiors did bear responsibility.

3. Just kicking

:kick:
There is no power that can take these scum out of office for at least a year,
and they'll never be held accountable for their murders,
but the drip of truth can wear through rocks
(to paraphrase Will Pitt).
